Ci Ita L I1 Circuit Analysis 1: Chapter # 2 Resistive Circuits

This document provides an overview of series and parallel resistor combinations. It contains examples of simplifying resistor circuits by combining resistors in series and parallel. The key points are: 1) Resistors can be combined to simplify the analysis of electric circuits. 2) Resistors are in series if they carry the same current. Their equivalent resistance is the sum of the individual resistances. 3) Resistors are in parallel if they are connected between the same two nodes. Their equivalent conductance is the sum of the individual conductances.

2.5 SERIES PARALLEL RESISTOR COMBINATIONS

UP TO NOW WE HAVE STUDIED CIRCUITS THAT


CAN BE ANALYZED WITH ONE APPLICATION OF
KVL(SINGLE LOOP) OR KCL(SINGLE NODE-PAIR)

WE HAVE ALSO SEEN THAT IN SOME SITUATIONS


IT IS ADVANTAGEOUS TO COMBINE RESISTORS
TO SIMPLIFY THE ANALYSIS OF A CIRCUIT

NOW WE EXAMINE SOME MORE COMPLEX CIRCUITS


WHERE WE CAN SIMPLIFY THE ANALYSIS USING
THE TECHNIQUE OF COMBINING RESISTORS…

… PLUS THE USE OF OHM’S LAW

RESISTORS ARE IN SERIES IF THEY CARRY


EXACTLY THE SAME CURRENT

6k + 6k + 10k RESISTORS ARE IN PARALLEL IF THEY ARE


CONNECTED EXACTLY BETWEEN THE SAME TWO
NODES
